[slm] The *compulsory* prayes are only: 2 rak'ahs for fajr 4 rak'ahs for dhuhr 4 rak'ahs for asr 3 rak'ahs for maghrib 4 rak'ahs for ishaa No other prayer is *compulsory* (i.e. fard).   However, there are certain sunnah prayers whose importance is stressed a great deal in the Sunnah of Rasulullah [saw].  Missing these is not a sin, but we are highly encouraged to follow the example of the Prophet [saw], and we could always use some more ajr [reward] right?
